Colangelo Almost Waived Weems

Phew ... what a relief. I don't know about the rest of you, but this kid is definitely one of the recent "diamonds in the rough" and I love his potential. Praying that he only continues to grow and improve. Although this season for the most part as been a disappointment on so many levels, Weems continues to impress and surprise me each week.

I have to admit, at the beginning of the year, I didn't even know if he'd be in the rotation. That mid-range jumpshot of his is looking nice. He's surprised me too; definitely one of the bright spots of this season.

The first time I saw him shoot (literally, the very first time), I thought that this guy had a chance. The mid-range game is a lost art in the NBA and he's got it, now it's about refining his decision-making and developing some actual moves with finishes at the end of them. That's the hard part.
